# Samba share with network discovery using docker-compose

### docker-compose.yalm completo

i files completi sono scaricabili dal git, il docker-compose utilizzabile anche su Portainer 

Per l'immagine wsdd fare il build (vedi [git wsdd-docker](https://forgit.patachina.duckdns.org/Fabio/wsdd-docker)) o scaricarlo da registry locale 

```
sudo docker pull images.patachina.duckdns.org/wsdd
```

### Set up the SMB share
we’re going to use crazymax’s smb container, pretty easy to setup and docker native. its recommended to use host networking for it.

**docker-compose.yml**

```
## https://fariszr.com/en/docker-smb-network-discovery/
version: "3.5"

services:
  samba:
    image: crazymax/samba
    container_name: samba
    network_mode: host
    volumes:
      - ./smb:/data
      - ./downloads:/downloads
    environment:
      - "TZ=$TIMEZONE"
      - "SAMBA_LOG_LEVEL=0"
    restart: always
```

don’t forget to change ```$TIMEZONE``` to your local timezone, [list of tz time zones](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones)


### Configuration

Unlike normal SMBd, the container uses YAML for configuration.

```
auth:
  - user: root
    group: root
    uid: 0
    gid: 0
    password: bar

global:
  - "force user = root"
  - "force group = root"

share:
  - name: downloads
    path: /downloads
    browsable: yes
    readonly: no
    guestok: yes
    veto: no
    recycle: yes 
```
Here is a basic config for an open local share. All my files are owned by root, that’s why i need to force root as the default user.

Put the config in the mounted data folder, so in the case of compose file above, its ```./smb/config.yml```

You can add more shares or more users and far more in the config. More details about docker-smb’s configuration options are in the project’s [GitHub repo](https://github.com/crazy-max/docker-samba)

After this you should be able to use the SMB share, though not discoverable.

### WSDD, SMB network discovery for Windows

Add this to the docker-compose.yml file

```
  wsdd:
    image: wsdd
    network_mode: host
    environment:
      - 'HOSTNAME=$HOSTNAME'
    restart: always
```

just replace ```$HOSTNAME``` with your hostname and then start the container


```docker compose up -d```


Now you should see the share with the ```$HOSTNAME``` as its name in the network tab (if local device discovery is enabled) in Windows file explorer.

### Avahi, SMB network discovery for MacOS and Linux
Add this to ```docker-compose.yml```, make sure to change ```$HOSTNAME``` to whatever you want the share’s name to be.

```bash
  avahi:
    image: ydkn/avahi
    hostname: $HOSTNAME
    network_mode: host
    volumes:
      - ./avahi-services:/etc/avahi/services:ro
    restart: always
```

```avahi-services/smb.service``` create the file smb.service with the following content:

```
<?xml version="1.0" standalone='no'?>
<!DOCTYPE service-group SYSTEM "avahi-service.dtd">
<service-group>
 <name replace-wildcards="yes">%h</name>
 <service>
   <type>_smb._tcp</type>
   <port>445</port>
 </service>
</service-group>
```
save it and start the container

```docker compose up -d```

You should now have Network discovery working on almost every OS!
